How to Swap Out a Coin Mech in a Soda Machine

On this episode, I swap out a coin mech in a Royal Merlin IV soda machine...but all does not go as planned! I also go over Tube Fill mode.

    I enjoy all of your helpful videos. How do I update an older AP 7600 snack machine so that it will take a Card reader? Will putting on an newer coin mechanism work?

    The 7600 is a pretty old machine and will not support a CC reader with its original board. You would have to upgrade the board to an aftermarket board like one from InOne.

    You need to make sure it's a vending mech with 24volt mdb....not an amusement mech with 117 volt. The mech should have a white 6 pin power harness.

    Do you mean it doesn't report cash sales through the credit card reader? If so, look to see if there is a eprom update available for your control board. If not, you may need to get a replacement board like an Inone board if cash reports are important to you.

    There are probably dip switches on the coin mech that you turn on to add multiples of 5 cents. For instance, if the first dip switch were the only one on, the soda would be 5 cents. If the second dip switch were the only one on, the soda would be 10 cents. If the first and second dip switches were on, the soda would be 15 cents (5 + 10). Get it?

I guess you could try taking it apart and see if you can determine what is keeping the buttons depressed. Even if you mess it up, those coin acceptors are fairly inexpensive now so you could always pick up a replacement.
